Yesterday afternoon the Helena BASE
Ball club played Q return game wi'n 'ne
VAUDEVILLE nine at the Fair grounos'
Thsrs was intense local interest taken IN
the game, and q large attendance 81 Du''0
and Walkerviile spectators. A good many
Helena people took advantage OF the spe-
cial from thsys, and the field presented an
animated sight, lined as it was with spec
tators on foot and ia vehicles. The Walker
vile team vent to the bat first and scored
thrse runs in the first inning. They were
full Of pluck and energy. and took Dig
risks in stealing bases. Ths game was va
tried and full of exciting plays. The UNI
pire first chosen was Cooper, but so much
'dissatlsfaction and wrangling was created
by his decisions that q change was impera'

WITHOUT 4 MuRMUR.
There were errors on both sides by
which some bases were lost that never
ought to have been with the least exercise
of judgment. Larry Gleason pitched
very effectively in the first few innings, but
was disastrously hit in the sixth, seventh
and eighth innings when the Helena men
got onto" him and laid him out for five
runs which WAS never headed of. Vance,
the Helena pitcher, sent in some eautiful
curves, that would have done credit to any
professional, 81 deceptive were they.
Some splendid catches were made and the
throwing to bases was, at a rule, sharp
and exact. Clark, the short stop OF the
Walkerville team, made some excellent
ways in time to catch the batter. Kirby,
the Walkerville catcher, caught out several
of the visiting team on fouls, for which he
deserved end received full credit from
the spectators. Jack Moffet's home u in
the ninth inning was q splendid hit, and
evoked the greatest enthusiasm,

The ball went sailing away into left field
over the fielder's head and beyond the line
Of carriages that were parked there, and
almost before the ball was returned to the
third baseman he was nearing the home
plate. He got there just in time, however.
It was the universal regret of the crowd
that he had not had the luck to have some
of the bases filled. as then he would hav,
tied and possibly beaten the Helena score,
although then they would have had the
last halt OF the ninth inning to play. The
Helena men had the luck to have their best
batters come to the bat when there were
men on bases, by which they brought home
more than half their runs. The Helena
men confessed that things looked very
squally no to the beginning of the fifth
inning, when they got their second wind. as
it were. and sailed into the VAUDEVILLE
boys
FOR ALL THEY WE'RE WORTH.
But they got the lead in the seventh in
ming and kept it. The home team ad.
mitted that the game was won on fits mer-
its, and that they had no kick to make.
Neither should they have, as the gate re-
ceipts. after the $3.50 won by the Helena
men was deducted, must have netted them
a handsome sum. As is usual in all games.
the crowds e~ncroached on the out field and
much trouble was occasioned the players
by the way the carriages at the lower end
of the left field were pushed forward. That
home run Of Jack Moffet never would have
been more than q three.base hit at the
most if the vehicles had not been in the
way of the fielder. The
